Following
a week-end attending a Worldview Conference, I came home with my mind
full of the many directions we have taken since we first became a
sovereign nation based on Godly principles.

It
is very easy to see the forces coming against our nation and many
of them are coming from within�.and we have given them our permission.

If
other worldviews are to flourish, it is imperative that the Christian
Heritage of our nation be destroyed. I brought home numerous books
and pieces of information and as I read through them, it is not difficult
to see how Christianity has been removed from our nation, beginning
in the classroom.

I
purchased The New-England Primer, which has been reprinted by David
Barton�s Wallbuilders organization. It was the primer used in Boston
schools in 1777.

Brilliant
drawings and illustrations were used as part of the teaching of the
alphabet:

Pray
to God.
Love God.
Fear God.
Take not God�s name in vain
Cheat not in your play
Play not with bad boys
Love your School
Speak the Truth
Be not a Dunce

(Many
more lessons - these are just a few examples)

The
whole primer is made up of lessons for life and �The Assembly of Divines.�
Their teachings were based on the Bible.

We
expect our children to really know about God and His truth by sending
them to church one or two hours a week and a big part of that time
is �entertainment.� We send them to schools funded by citizens� tax
dollars, but they are under the control of the NEA and ACLU. Schools
where they are told God can not be mentioned and prayer must be evil
because it is forbidden.

We
then wonder why our nation has been dumbed down with no respect for
our sovereign God, the Constitution, our Founding Fathers, the Declaration
of Independence or the Bill of Rights. We find our history books have
been distorted. Much of the curriculum is long on fiction and short
on truth.

Secular
Humanism is a worldview religion with its own Manifesto. It has had
a stronghold on the minds of our youth for decades. The following
comes from A Humanist Manifesto - 1933:

The
time has come for widespread recognition of the radical change in
religious beliefs throughout the modern world. The time is past for
mere revision of traditional attitudes. Science and economic change
have disrupted the old beliefs. Religions the world over are under
the necessity of coming to terms with new conditions created by a
vastly increased knowledge and experience. In every field of human
activity, the vital movement is now in the direction of a candid and
explicitly humanism. In order that religious humanism may be better
understood we, the undersigned, desire to make certain affirmations
which we believe the facts of our contemporary life demonstrate.

There
is great danger of a final, and we believe fatal, identification of
the word religion with doctrines and methods which have lost their
significance and which are powerless to solve the problem of humans
living in the Twentieth Century.

Although
Humanists will deny it is a religion, there can be no doubt that Secular
Humanism IS a religion, just as surely as Christianity. What most
don�t realize, as Christianity was being removed from the schools,
new religions were being introduced. Dr. David Noebel, author of many
books on worldviews, reveals in his book Clergy in the Classroom page
after page of documentation proving Secular Humanism is a religion
� and by their own admission.

Environmentalism
is a religion in the form of creature and earth worship above the
Creator. We are subjecting our children to many religions, but the
one true religion missing is Christianity, the foundation of our sovereign
United States.

As
we wonder why things are happening and we just can�t understand, we
must realize our churches are benign in many areas. There are so few
churches preaching the truth and, therefore, they are certainly no
threat to what has invaded our nation. Many churches are into teaching
more secular humanism than the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of our
youth groups are no more than peer groups led by well meaning, but
unqualified leaders.

Kids
today have difficulty making moral decisions. Statistics sadly show
little difference between divorce rates and other problems in the
family among church-goers from the rest of the world. This should
not be a surprise, as we have willingly handed over our most valuable
investments -- our children -- to un-Christian curriculums, computers
and television for training, and sometimes even a major portion of
their upbringing.

�Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not
depart from it.� Proverbs 22:6

Maybe
we would see a change in our nation if we went back to the New England
Primer and children were taught from early childhood:

GOD hath given you increase,
And blessed well your store,
Remember you are put in trust
And should relieve the poor.Beware
of foul and filthy lust,
Let such things have no place,
Keep clean your vessels in the LORD
That He may you embrace.
Ye are the temples of the LORD
For you are dearly bought
And they that do defile the same
Shall surely come to nought.
